Yes, scores should not be an indicator of a person but this season I am mostly happy and a lot more consistent.
I am an underdog because I still have a lot to learn from others and always humble to help if in any way I can be useful.
I have been inactive in terms of posts on PG, but I can always contribute in whatever way it is required and yes I stay online 24x7 on PG in office or at home.
My craziness for cat is such that I have left better job opportunities to stay at my home town and prepare from my home(God has given me this choice πŸ˜ƒ for which I am grateful).
I don't post much but I stay 24 hrs on PG.
My parents have told me to forget cat and concentrate on job but I won't stop until I crack it.
People who know me personally have seen my craziness.
Rest its up to the mods or the selectors to take a call upon me.
Always keep trying :):)

Cheers


Requesting Judges to consider a candidate's willingness to help others on the forum as an important parameter while selecting the team , "others" should not include just the team members but also PG community at large..



namaskaar, pagalguy

Name: Rahul Gupta(friends call me raul/roll, cos i roll on the obese side of life)

starting prep this weekend.

20 july to 20 oct ill prepare hard.

will give exam on nov 1.

have material from a senior who is hopping the new week to IIT ROORKEE.

ill give my best will work hard. getting into the underdog team is cos i m an underdog. i m practically ok in my engineering course but i suck at theories and writing crap in my university answersheets. have to prove a lot of things. also my family expects alot. i m the eldest and i m 21 so i have to kill some burdens now!

i ll conclude by the lines of Joe Budden:

I appear to be arrogant thats what they instilled in me,

took it as a weakness when i showed them humility...

the bmr(fms) is my idol, i want to be like him.!

i will be a regular on pg for my cat prep. i m sure most of us will make it. akele ek hai saath hai to anek hai! milke karege! cheers.

Have been a silent spectator of the PG UDT 2011 thread. Its about time I start being a participant as well. My first post ever across any DT/UDT thread.
Filing my nomination for UDT 2012.

I will start off with a snapshot of my profile.
Name – Sayantan
Age – 21
City – Durgapur
Graduation: CGPA– 8.85 B.E.,Jadavpur University
XIIth - 90.2%(CBSE)
Xth– 93.0%(ICSE)
Work Ex – Nil (Waiting for my Joining Dates )

The 2011 season was my first attempt and this was how it went::
CAT 2011 – 99.23%tile (QA/DI – 91.21 VA/LR – 99.91)
XAT 2012 – 99.89%tile (QA – 99.59 VA – 99.83 DM – 72.94 )
Calls : IIM B, I, K, S, RRRTUKa, L(ABM),FMS,NITIE,MDI
Converts – IIM I, S, Ka, MDI
Calls Skipped – L(ABM), NITIE
Rejects – Do the math yourself
Season 2012: Only enrolled with IMS(User ID - 31A03123) and only taken 2 mocks so far. Have not yet started with serious preps so far , only going through the motions as they say. Stuck in a limbo and with CAT only 3 months away, will start with it as soon I get settled into my new job and a new environment.
My performances so far::
Mock No. _______________%ile____________ AIR
OPEN SimCAT____________99.99____________3
SimCAT 3_______________99.55____________47
SimCAT 4_______________99.91____________11
A cursory glance at the histogram(or whatever you prefer to call it) beside my ID will show that I am still a Newbie PaGaL. True, if you go by the no. of posts made on this forum(which is abysmally low – only 11 so far). So the question automatically arises as to what I have been doing all through(I joined almost a year back). The fact is I have been around this forum for a pretty long time without really posting much. Sadly, PG does not keep track of the amount of time you have spent online on this forum. Last year, coming to PG and staying online for a couple of hours at least was one of my routine jobs everyday. Kept track of all Dream Team Threads(including Regional Dream Teams), read AIWTSAC, dug up old DT,UDT and KDT threads, solved questions posted on the verbal thread, dug up the post history of the stalwarts of PG, sent PM's and so on and so forth. In short, have done most of the things except post on forums .
In a family where no one has done anything remotely close to an MBA – I was faced with this dilemma as to whether I should go for IIM Indore or take a crack at CAT 2012. This was when I started interacting with the members of DT/UDT who have started their MBA journey and many of them who had been on the same crossroads in the past Talked with people like DOC, the_hate, skr_14, sammael, first_timer, satwinder, Roger Federer, GANESH87, TnT and a host of other successful puys and came to a decision. I admit that it would have been far easier to settle for the blue tag beneath my name(differently denoted in the New PG by the edifice) than to go through the grind once again. But I have a dream and am not willing to compromise with it any cost and settle for anything less. Hope my decision to take up the gauntlet stands vindicated. However having interacted with these PG Legends, it makes me acutely aware of the legacy that a DT/UDT carries along with it. I can only hope that I live up to the benchmark set by these stalwarts .
Making it to PG UDT has also been a dream along with making it to my Dream B-School. Have always been a reticent individual, someone who prefers keeping things to himself and a little known ID at PG. Consciously trying to break out of the mould and be a successful team player, as someone who strives to become a better individual in life, not a hardcore competitor; enjoy the success of people around and share their ups and downs. Hope I am given a chance to carry this legacy forward .
Regards,
papainandy

Why I should be In UDT.......?



Well past years I have shown consistancy in improvement in mocks and CAT... Also this time I am much more active then I ever were.....I feel this will be the year of Revenge and an underdog taking what he deserves.....

An avid follower of past UDT's and feel this year I might be in one. Long live the UDT spirit.....

I was a mere spectator at Pagalguy for the last 2 seasons but have been very active this season (Pagal for life now). The NCR meets and the great ppl I met there made me realize the importance of being a part of a great group..keeps you motivated all the time and keeps the hunger alive.
I have been an under achiever throughout my life...always felt I had the potential but somehow could not get the desired results and this time it is a matter of proving to myself and show that I am an underdog who can rise to the occasion and prove his worth.

The greatest trick dream plays with you is to teach you how to hold onto the most shattered of the pieces you have encountered on your way to realize that dream...


I am holding onto all the failures and setback and still walking with my head held high with the belief that I will reach where I want to, even if it takes me to walk the longest and the darkest tunnel. As my gtalk status says- there is always light at the end of the tunnel, it's just in our destiny whether we are allotted the longest tunnel or the shortest one.


The underdog in me has always aspired to be a winner, and that winner always had his roots in the spirit of that underdog.


With this belief I nominate myself for the underdawgs 12.


For the stats-

I dream big, I fight fair but hard, I respect AIR 1 but never fear him/her. In 3 years I have learned how to keep all my heart in the dream I am preserving and my entire mind in the work required in making it a reality. Till the time we keep both mutually exclusive to one another, we are on the right track in life.

Here goes my nomination for one of my favourite teams on PG...


I thoroughly followed last years PG UDT and the members were truly a great inspiration....
I was the Vice-captain of KDT-11 and attending meets in Kolkata, the conference chats and the knowledge sharing among us made it a simply awesome experience... It will be my 3rd shot at CAT and hopefully the last one...

I have always believed that hard work never goes unpaid and this year I will be putting all efforts to make sure I get out of this rat race !

Hey, I am very thrilled to nominate myself for PDT'12 in my first season here at PG. I did'nt follow PG during my last attempt in 2009. I feel I have been an UnderDog in the true sense of the word. The best example supporting my claim is my admission to DCE. After 12th, I performed badly in all the engg competitive exams. Managed to get into KJ Somaiya College of Engg, Bombay through AIEEE. It is a respectable college of the Bombay University and in Maharashtra. Spent a Semester there, then very unfortunately seriously fell sick. Due to health problems, I had to come back to Delhi for treatment. Ended up missing Semester 2 exams. As a result, had to lose that year. Instead of continuing, I decided to take a 2nd shot. Came back with determination and vowed to get into a top-grade college. Applied only for IIT-JEE/DCE-CEE/AIEEE. Again bad luck, missed out on Chem cut-off in JEE, ordinary rank in AIEEE (24000). So, DO or DIE situation - DCE. Came back with a bang, 'Underdog' under pressure. Got into DCE MECHANICAL.
Maintained a good track record - 75.6 % - Department Rank Top 10.
Now the bad patch comes back.
CAT 09 : 88 %ile (VA screwed)
XAT 10 : 87 %ile

Got recruited to the world's largest tyre manufacturing MNC. Went to work in France/Germany for 2 years. Now m bck to India, gearing up for the 2nd CAT season. Life's taken a full monty !! I'm at the same point whr I was 3 yrs ago when I was aiming for IIT/DCE.

I need to come out from the 'UnderDOG' shackle, and prove my mettle.

Started the AIMCAT season with bad performances. But trying hard to improve with each test.

1318 - 78.05
1317 - 80.05
1316 - 44.10
1315 - 77.69
1314 - 89.60
1313 - 97.54
1312 - 93.97
1311 - 83.03

1310 - 98.89

A good score is coming just after the 1st shortlist of UDT

Anyways, Will keep improving every second....

Well as nominations for this year's UDT pours in i remember few names from the likes of TechGOD , GANESH87 , Nishant and many more....
This people are awesome in their mocks , If one is truly running out of motivation or has lost all hopes for doing an MBA from a good B-School , turn up folks here you have something bigger than you expect...

Why an UnderGod ?

I am no IITian , NIT ian , Just a Normal Male Engineer...But hope to end up this journey in some good College... Always been a Dark Horse of the Race....

Second Attempt for MBA and i am ageing completed 26 yrs in May.

The dream which i saw was half fulfilled when i wrote CAT 2011 my 1st attempt.

CAT 2011:- 97.7 %

calls: NITIE, IIM RRRTUK, XIMB(BM)

converts: XIMB(BM), IIM Raipur.

Could not join as i have some responsibilities to look after. And last 4-5 mthns i was totally in frustration. But now i am cool and is going to start the journey to my dreamland and this tym it will be the IIMs and XLRI.

My profile:

X= 83.6%

XII= 78%

Btech= 8.57 CGPA(No IIT/NIT)

So a BRAND name is what i hunt for

but am not GENERAL MALE IT but GENEAL MALE CORE(ELECTRICAL)

work ex: 3 yrs will goin to complete on 17th Aug

Being Eldest son the responsibities of family come to my shoulder after i lost my father in 2006. So the dream of getting in MBA come only when i settled my lil bro.

So Mods kindly take this post as my nomination. M not like other bigges but this is for underdogs and i will prove to be 1. As far as mocks are concern i will be opting for TESTFUNDA as this is the only 1 i can opt for as it is fully online unlike others.

So plz plz kindly accept my nomination. I will remain active on PG from now on after the lapse.

Hi all !! This is Vikas Naidu from Kolkata.

B.Tech:90%
XII:85.2%
X:69.67%
Work Ex:2 yrs in TCS

This is going to be my 4th attempt at CAT.My previous years CAT percentiles are as follows:
CAT 2011:99.83 Converts:L,MDI,NITIE.Did not join any.Looking for ABC.
CAT 2010:95
CAT 2009:98.92 Converts:MDI

I have just started giving mockcats,so I am not posting my mock cat repository link,but will edit as soon as I get any result.

I think I am truly cut out for this team this year.I had nominated myself in last years thread as well.My mock scores have never been so high that I get selected in any of the teams.So,that makes me more eligible for this team,as I feel I am truly an underdog.This year,I think I can really help my team members with my experience of taking CAT and learn from them as well.

I dream of being a part of ABC..last year was a heartbreak of not converting C.But this year I want to make sure i along with my team mates make it to the top institutes.

Hi fellas

Not many posts going out from my end in the forums, but I have been an ardent follower of the DT and UDT threads of last year.

hello everyone,


My nomination for UDT
Name:- Prateek
Location:- Kolkata

My 3rd season for the Cat, past CAT percentiles :- Cat 2010 - 95.9, Cat 2011 - 93
Was In KDT 11
It has been like a millennium of wait for the cat, but i have never given up, despite better preparation in 2011, despite mock scores of 98+ consistently , despite giving a more than a satisfactory paper, i failed to keep up with my own expectations' , let alone others scoring even less than that in 2010. But i have never given up. It has been more of a hard work for me, because i have not been blessed with super brains, or any good luck charm. But i have never given up. I have seen those whom i helped reaching the places i dreamt, felt happy for them and envied them a little, but i have never given up. This is the only reason i have, to be selected as an UNDERDOG, because no matter what CAT has to offer me, i would never give up.

and why i want to be a part of the team??

i feel this team serves to motivate PUYS who need it most, who can be best of all if they are inspired, their journey chanelled through the different setbacks, difficulties CAT offers, to be very honest, though i would always try to help, but a little bit of selfishness in me lets me know that i would still receive more than what i have to offer, and this would be true for everyone.knowledge and motivation is always multiplied when given to others.

Now, lets talk about the underdog team and my nomination for it. My mock scores are not the highest here. Most of the time the questions being discussed on the quant thread are way beyond my level. My studies have not reached the optimum level yet and my mock scores tend to dip with time. Keeping all these thoughts in mind i had already deleted the nomination i had typed for myself once. Yet, here i am, pitting myself against the most tenacious PG has to offer. That ladies and gentlemen is what the underdog does. He fights when logic dictates a hasty retreat. He does not compromise or settle for second best. When life dishes out a hard blow, he takes it on the chin and moves ahead. His passion keeps him going.. and passion is what i have in high quantities. the whole process of pitting oneself against the best minds of the country excites me and drives me..

The underdog team is a team that people in my place look up to. the reason for my retyping my whole nomination was just that 1 puy remarked that he follows my scores for motivation. That was my wake up call. this team was a chance for me to reach out to more people. People other than the bangalore puys who know me or are in the same google prep groups here. Through this group, I can help so many more in my own small way and somewhere gain the momentum required to bell the cat this year..

when i was young, i wanted to be a writer, then came the engineering phase and i had nothing more to write. However, if i crack the cat this year after leaving converts, heavy workloads, loads of advice stating that you should go in for whatever you get and how the whole system is biased against the IT male- wont that be a story worth telling!!!


ps-sorry for the long post!! ye meri common problem hai...
